The SRC is formed by one representative from each IDEA League partner university. The members are either Prorectors of Research, or senior officers dealing with research policies. It is the task of the SRC to develop, and advise the Heads Board on IDEA-League-wide research strategies and inter-university research collaborations, as well as on all issues regarding the EIT (European Institute of Technology) and its KICs (Knowledge and Innovation Communities). The SRC also coordinates the activities of all research related IDEA League working groups.
